I haven't blogged in a few days but I have been following the shooting that happened Monday while most Oklahomans were celebrating The Oklahoma City Thunder's 3-1 series win over the L.A. Lakers... I decided to go to the Oklahoman archives and find out how many shootings have occurred in Bricktown and this is what I found:
• May 16, 2010: Edward Yearby III, 25, of DeSoto, Texas, is shot and killed after a college graduation party at the Coca-Cola Bricktown Events Center. Two others are wounded. Randy Lamar Hall II, 21, the son of an Oklahoma City police officer, is ultimately sentenced to life in prison for the shootings.
• Nov. 27, 2011: Daniel Maxedon, 25, is severely beaten outside of the Rok Bar, 119 E California Ave. He died of his injuries March 6. Police records show this was one of 18 reported assaults in Bricktown from May 1, 2011, through early March.
• Dec. 31, 2011: Two people were shot during an altercation between occupants of a vehicle and a limousine in Bricktown. The injuries were not life-threatening.
• May 21: Eight people were shot and a ninth person suffered blunt force trauma along Reno Avenue near the baseball stadium as the crowd left the Chesapeake Energy Arena following the Oklahoma City Thunder game. One of those shot was in critical condition. The other injuries were not life-threatening.
